INTERIOR PROVOCATIONS - Interiors Without Architecture

Call For Proposals: Praxis + History/ Theory

The second annual Pratt Interior Provocations symposium, Interiors without Architecture, seeks papers addressing the broad cultural, historical, and theoretical implications of interiors beyond their conventionally defined architectural boundaries, and not limited by interior design’s traditional associations with decoration, taste, and social status.

This conference encourages provocative and boundary-expanding proposals from design practitioners, historians, and theorists addressing, for example, the implications of interior design expertise applied to prefabricated, reused enclosures not originally intended for human occupation; interiors composed by natural geography; interior environments created for literature, film, stage and virtual reality; interiors constructed within external urban surroundings; mobile interiors, inhabitable art; infrastructural interiors; interior landscapes; adaptive reuse and interiors; and interiors on and for display, including period rooms, model rooms, dioramas, and store display windows.

Educating Architects and Planners in the Twentieth Century

Call for Abstracts: “Educating Architects and Planners in the Twentieth Century”

8 September 2017

School of Architecture and Planning, The University of Auckland, New Zealand

On 8-9 September 2017, the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of Auckland celebrates its centenary. Events include a symposium on the Friday, followed that evening by a book launch and exhibition opening, with both projects addressing the history of the Auckland School. On the Saturday there will be a series of panel discussions bringing together groups of our alumni from different generations and, that evening, a gala dinner. 

Our current research on the history of the Auckland School is producing a survey of its formation, growth and development. We now seek papers that examine particular episodes, events and people associated with the Auckland School over its first 100 years, and also papers on the histories of architecture and planning education elsewhere.

Themes of interest to us include, but are not limited to:

Critical Collaborations: Neutralizing Power in Art and Design History

Critical Collaborations: Neutralizing Power in Art and Design History
15-18 February 2017, New York

We welcome submissions that look to histories of art and design collaboration that confront and disarm power structures, be they institutional, research methods-based, or material. This panel aims to foster a dynamic discussion that will address projects that focus on histories of collaboration and engagement practices. Contributions focusing on non-Western contexts will be favored to consider not what history or design mean in various constituencies, but what present collaboration across geographies can afford the intellectual, social and cultural aspects of art and design. 

Potential Subject Areas: 1) Art History-Decorative Arts/Textiles/ Design History; 2) Interdisciplinary-Museum Studies/Curatorial Studies/Art Criticism; 3) Interdisciplinary-Studio Art & Art History

Architectural Research Centers Consortium 2015 Conference: Future of Architectural Research

6-9 April 2015, Chicago.

Conference website: http://www.arcc2015.com

Deadline: 15 September 2014

"Research in architecture, design and the built environment is currently diversifying and reaching new directions. Technological changes, such as new materials, construction techniques and design representations, have accelerated the need for research within design disciplines. Today, research is more important than ever and it is also becoming an integral component in the design practices ...  interdisciplinary research approaches that address advanced materials, building technologies, environmental and energy concerns, computational design, automation in construction, design delivery methods, and project management are essential for advancing the state of knowledge relating to the design of built environment. This conference will address these topics, and will also aim to define the future course of architectural research."
